Hi all!
My name is Louise and I am 27, you might call me a serial dieter........Hey, you could even say 'Cereal' dieter because as well as Cabbage Soup, Atkins, Weight Watchers and Maple Syrup I even tried living on cereal for a week or 2. Anything and everything to shift those excess pounds!
How did this all start? Well I was very lucky up to the age of 18 - Eat what I like, drink as much beer as I like....then go to a club and dance the night away. Then I settled into a relationship and got comfy and content - out went the dancing and mini skirts and in came Take-aways in front of a good film and an ever increasing in size, pair of un attractive jogging bottoms to accomondate my rear!!!
This 6 year relationship fizzled out and then I decided to find a new man! Hmmmmm but who wants to date a fatty? No-one, so then I found myself sitting in room with some other buxom ladies all discussing our 'emotions' and 'triggers' and who we aspired to be etc...and I was leaving that room with my weight written in a little book (14 stone 7lb) and a bag to take away that had a whole weeks worth of food in it! 21 Packs - a mixture of soups and shakes. So my Lighter Life journey had begun, I did very well and lost 2 1/2 stone altogether and when I was in the 12's I got togther with my now fiance, ironically he was somebody whom I met when I was larger and he had liked me then...Any way - he loved the new me (although he did comment to me once about what sort of toothbrush I use - his polite way of saying that my breath was rancid, before he knew what Ketosis was) So I stayed on it for a while and then we went away together and I came off it! And started to enjoy being with H2B, we were able to go out - I could cook for him, Share a bottle of wine etc.... It was bliss.....a year into our relationship I was back up to 14 stone and thinking 'oh dear'
To cut a long story short - we got engaged, moved in together and have set a date for our wedding. 18th October 2008 (8 wks time).
I went to a Christmas party with H2B and some freinds took our photo (as they do) December 2007, I took one look and promptly cried, I could not believe what I was seeing. Horrified by this, I vowed to loose weight for my wedding photos and then made a firm decsion to start back at Lighter Life after christmas and get myself enough time to loose a lot of weight! Then I disovered CD - and hey guys! Its cheaper, so I waddled to the diet centre at the end of my road (I know, how convinient) and weighed in at a whopping 15stone 7lbs. I was mortified, this was 2nd February 2008, by 5th May 2008 I was 11stone 11lbs after 12 solid weeks of SS and not an once of anything else. I came of it then for personal reasons, vowing to not put it on like I had last time ( I had a wedding dress to get into after all - a real goal - a reason) Did that stop me, no, I am a helpless cause and I weighed myself on my Wii fit last week, only to find that I was back up to 13stone 7 lbs. Guess what? Yes...thats right, back to CD- Only this time - I know I have to do it for the full 8 wks upto the wedding and I need some support....So come on guys and gals!!! Spur me on...encourage me....and help me to be the beautiful bride I have always dreamed of being!
Sorry that it is a long thread but I wanted you all to know me before you read my diary!
Thanks x x x x x x x x
